We are rewatching Lord of the Rings. We have this thing that my boyfriend cooks and I pick a movie for us to watch while we eat. Lately I have been very, very, very depressed and felt hopeless about the future, so my boyfriend decided to pick the movie we'd watch and put on Fellowship to cheer me up.

It's taking us most of the week to watch the trilogy, but I appreciate it.

Ngl, something inside me healed a little when we got to Sam's monologue.

Whether by choice, chance or the nudge of a loved one, Lord of the Rings always seem to peek its head back into my life when I need it the most.
